Hi Jesse -

First off, please don't send HTML mail to the list.  It's actually
causing messages to bounce off the list, now.

The short answer is to upgrade your xfsprogs, and all will be well.

There used to be an added ioctl that mkfs used in the kernel, but it
went away.  your (old) mkfs is complaining that it can't find it - 
but it's not needed in any case.
